For what it's worth, muay Thai Tuesdays and Thursdays, lifting Monday and Friday, easy walk Sunday. That’s the stack I can actually keep. The scale has parked between 213 and 215 for five weeks, and I’m not going to pretend that doesn’t sting.
But my rounds on the bag are less gassed, my push-ups went from 12 to 24, and my resting heart rate dropped 7 bpm. Meanwhile I’m hungry enough that dinner feels like a second job.
I keep the boring stuff: water bottle filled before coffee, protein at breakfast, 10 minutes of hips and shoulders before I leave the house, lights out by 10:30.
Some days I feel strong and lean; other days I feel like I’m doing all this for a number that refuses to cooperate. Anyone else seeing gym progress move while the scale takes a nap?
